Take a d'Vine Trip Down Under

Australia was apart of my first BIG backpacking adventure. The first time I have travelled for over three months, to a range of different countries, and I loved it.

Of course, we booked into do all of the popular tours on offer such as the Great Barrier Reef, Fraiser Island and the Whitsundays (even though we go to sick to do that one) and not to forget the Sydney harbour bridge climb. We also chose a slightly different tour to the popular choices and headed to Myella Farm in the outback. Here we went trekking on horses, milked the cows and make friends with the local joey.

I really love alternative tours like this; so when the guys from d'Vine tours over in Australia got in touch,I thought it would be a nice idea to talk about what they have to offer.

Located in Perth, d’Vine offer a range of tours to suit all needs from private charters to weekly tours, there is something to fit all budgets - more info on tour packages here. You can choose to be picked up from a series of departure locations – starting off at the Perth CBD at 10:15am.

On most of the tours you will get to sample the wines and indulge in a scrummy cheese platter – my idea of heaven! From what I could find on their website – prices start at $65 for adults – but considering that the Sydney Bridge is between $248-$268 dollars for a day climb – to me, this isn't too badly priced and is something different to talk about with your fellow backpackers and friends.
